    Stage 3+ seems to be more expensive however I do plan on doing rods and pistons in the future so mine as well do a stronger clutch now but yeah you should turbo your e30 @mbonanni.. soon as I saw my buddies I jad too do it. Thanks for the help guys!

      So kamotors got a bit of work done today. He fixed the rust that was in the trunk.

      Before:


      After:




      Itll probably need some sheet metal added but for now its good. one less thing to worry about

      and a picture of it waiting for the motor



      Waiting on a few parts to arrive then the motor is ready to drop in. hopefully have it up and running this weekend :mrgreen:

        Good stuff.
        I think the log manifold is going to hold you back a bit :x
        At least it will never crack :p

          Its well worth it tho. and it was a direct fitment unlike the ebay ones where you have to hack em up to fit.

              I wish there was someone in texas who worked on E30's like this.

                        So I picked up some trm c1's from a member on here for a pretty good deal one may need to be replaced but still cheaper than buying new. Need to get some tires ordered for those. I'm also going up to reno next weekend to help get the turbo installed and will hopefully have it up and running. Still need to order a few parts like a wideband, boost controller, boost gauge and whatever little parts I come across. :)

                          Not much of an update with the car. I went up to reno this weekend to try and get stuff done and ran into a couple issues.

                          The manifold pushed the turbo up farther than the ebay ones which the cold side of the turbo hits the spark plug wires and distributor cap. So it looks like Im going wasted spark to try to keep the wires from burning.

                          On the plus side we got it running and the clutch bled and drove it down the street a few times. Rides super smooth and comfortable.

                              Got my wheels today. Was expecting a bit more damage on the one that sludge hit a wall with. but it only has minor scratches that aren't noticeable
